Low-lying levels inBr76

Gamma rays from the reaction ${}_{}{}^{76}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Se} (p,n\gamma )$ ${}_{}{}^{76}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Br}$ were observed at proton energies between 5.80 and 6.50 MeV. A total of 35 $\gamma$ rays were assigned to transitions in ${}_{}{}^{76}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Br}$. A level scheme involving 15 levels up to an excitation energy of 616.3 keV was deduced from threshold measurements, energy sums, and $\gamma -\gamma$ coincidence studies. These results have resolved disagreements between two previous experiments involving the $\beta$-decay of ${}_{}{}^{76}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Kr}$. Previously unreported levels have been assigned at 495.4, 505.0, 527.5, and 548.0 keV.
